  Hello OP and welcome! I think you are trying to find some sympathy and commiseration, since your husband is not delivering any at the moment. I don't have this problem personally, but I know lots of other women here are having issues with their husbands thinking they're "milking it". Also, this board and community are really organized, and kind of strict about the rules. It can be intimidating at first, but it actually helps the board flow really easily, avoids double posting, and everyone gets together and can have real conversations instead of one off blurbs. I happen to have seen it the other way around (completely disorganized) and every day there is a new "I'm so sick!" and "This really sucks!" post basically talking about the same thing. This way really saves a lot of time. So I would suggest if you really want to be part of the community (and you should, these ladies are awesome, have really great advice, and overall it's good to be supported by such a strong group when you're going through such a huge life change) then go introduce yourself in the intro thread, read the "read this first" post, and then go post this story in either Monday Bitchfest or weekend randoms. Both of those groups should be pretty open to it. The bitchfest one is probably the better one, weekend randoms is meant to be a little bit lighter. Like I said, welcome, and I hope you stick around!

  i consider myself pretty tough. i don't often get sick, i work out daily, i have long work days, i have a 16 month old and am 14 weeks pregnant. 
  i also have a pretty brutal cold right now. 
  fever. chills. coughing up phlegm. 
  i complained to my husband. 
  
  why do men men feel the need to reiterate some hand me down story about "you know...back in the day...women used to be working in the field, stop what they were doing...have the baby and go right back to work"
  
  really? how do you think that worked out for them? do you think that was how they wanted their day to go--or do you think they had a sadder story to tell? we don't live in those times, and though i respect that fortitude, all i'm asking is for some compassion from my husband!

  @freshiebop You can't delete a post, but if no one else makes any further comments, then it will fall to the bottom, and no one will care.  Welcome.

  I'm going through the same sickness, I'm mostly just coughing all day now and it's awful. I get all the posting rules and whatever but I didn't actually see anyone at least say "I hope you get some relief and feel better soon". So I wanted to add that in, feel better mama! ❤️
